Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Baltimore to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $3,250 High Roller; however, that is just one of more than a dozen gold ring events that have taken place over the past week. As such, we thought we’d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.

Event #7: $400 Monster Stack had 227 runners create a $74,910 prize pool that was paid out to the top 35 spots including Justin Liberto (13th - $1,012), Hank Sitton (14th - $1,012), William Hovis (21st - $753), and Anthony Maggio (32nd - $555).

In the end, Andrew “AJ” Kelsall came out on top to win the $17,730 first-place prize and his third gold ring. Originally from Philadelphia but now splitting time between Vegas and Tampa, the 50-year-old is closing in on $1 million in WSOP earnings. While he cherishes the three rings, he really wants a WSOP bracelet.

"I'd trade them all for a bracelet,” he said with a smile.
